After the presentation of 28 September reading room selection on Amazon has become quite a trivial task. Wait for the new multi-touch? Take the expensive keyboard or cheaper without it? Let's try together to figure out which option will suit you the most.
Here are some questions to get answers to that, the choice is obvious.
With or without sound?
If you want to listen to music or audio books with the Kindle. Maybe learn English with the help of the built-in reading - then take the usual Kindle version is not worth. Since it is the cheapest, then it has saved - there are no speakers or headphone jacks.
Will you comment a book or surf the Internet on a Kindle?
If the answer to this question is affirmative, your choice Kindle Keybord. Firstly, the gain from the keyboard hardware evil will be easier than in the Kindle Touch screen or by moving the joystick in the normal Kindle. Second, you need to input Russian characters. This requires a jailbreak, which is for the Kindle Keybord, but not available for Kindle Touch and the usual Kindle. There stands the fourth firmware, which has not yet been hacked.
With 3G or only Wi-Fi?
The 3G Amazonom first issued in order to enable you to anywhere in the world to buy the book. That so be prepared for the fact that all the other 3G usage options can be disabled at any time.
With or without advertising?
Buying a model with advertising you will need to complete a purchase on an address in the United States. Shipping + discount of 30-40 $ unequivocally block the costs of the intermediary. How annoying advertising can be seen on this video:
At any time, you can pay $ 30 in your account on Amazon Kindle and advertising will become commonplace.
Do I need a full-size pdf format A4?
Layfhakera attentive reader already knows that there are programs that are easy to prepare pdf-files for viewing on the 6-inch screen. On this program we have wrote. Unfortunately, this option does not suit everyone. For example, an anatomical reference circuitry, or watch on the small screen will simply inconvenient. Therefore, if the answer to this question is positive, your choice Kindle DX.
And in the end comparison tableWhich, hopefully, will remove all questions.
